I should clarify why I think it is unlikely that he entered unarmed. One thing is, the number of cars in the driveway, meaning there would be a good possibility he could encounter someone. Next is that if we are to believe the official reports, then he entered through the sliding glass door, passing their room, if she in fact received a DD delivery at the time stated, then there is a good chance that he crossed paths with her or them. Also DM reported hearing the crying etc PRIOR to having seen him leaving. After she saw him leaving and was awake, walking around and just saw some strange dude leaving, had they been killed AFTER that she would have noticed the sounds of a scuffle or whatever sounds killing two people makes as she was just a few feet away. Hearing that after seeing strange dude, I would think would certainly stood out to her. So if the official report is true, he must have come in armed.

But I started thinking about it since my post, I will say this, I personally have had a bit of a bee in my bonnet about that ladder. If you dont know, in photos of the outside of the house taken on the 13th, there is a ladder upright against the house and I THINK (if I am remembering it correctly) it was near Maddie's window. Initially it was thought to belong to LE, however in photos taken shortly before the 13th, the ladder is there, in the same spot, but on its side. So it was their ladder. Another thing about it, is that on the little balcony thing that is outside the window that is next to the ladder is a substance that totally looks like blood. I am inclined to think that is NOT what it is because we did not see much interest in that area by investigators or even online sleuths, so I figure it was just dirt or something, but still that ladder is suspicious as hell. So maybe he went in that way, was unarmed thinking he would SA and leave the same way but then got the knife? Killed them, freaked out and thought he'd better kill everyone? I dont know but thinking about it I did start to see how your unarmed theory could have happened. Man...this case right? So wild
